Which Episode of Deadwood for a College History Class?
You may want to arm yourself with some history that was rewritten by the TV show: 1) The Gem Saloon (Swearengen’s place) wasn’t built until 1877 — about a year after the first episode is dated. 2) Seth Bullock didn’t have a brother, so he couldn’t have married his brother’s widow. 3) Hickock was murdered the day after Bullock and Star arrived in Deadwood. There’s little chance they even met, let alone hunted down the man who killed the Metz party. 4) Speaking of the Metz party, there was a Metz party that was massacred, but that occurred about 3 months earlier than portrayed in the show. Not only that, the Metz party was all adults — no children. 5) None of the folks shown running the Bella Union ever existed. It was owned by a man named Tom Miller. Doc Cochran didn’t exist, either. 6) Swearengen was not an orphan. He was married at the time depicted in the first season. 7) Bullock and Star did not buy the lot for their store from Swearengen. 8) Bullock did not hunt down Jack McCall
